Join this webinar to:
- Get an introduction to MuleSoft’s SDK, DevKit
- Watch a demo on how to build a reusable connector in 15 minutes
- Get tips and advice from experts who’ve successfully built connectors using DevKit

With Anypoint Runtime Manager 2.0, MuleSoft customers can monitor, troubleshoot, analyze and manage applications and APIs deployed in the cloud or on-premises, in a sandbox, staging or production environment from a single pane of glass.

In this demo-driven webinar, Suchi Deshpande, Sr. Product Manager, MuleSoft will show how Anypoint Runtime Manager provides a unified view of applications, servers, and APIs, no matter where they are running - increasing visibility into complex hybrid landscapes and reducing mean time to resolution when issues occur.

Treating APIs like products is emerging as an API strategy best practice. Like products, then, APIs should be designed with a specific purpose and be delivered within a software development lifecycle (SDLC) framework. MuleSoft’s Anypoint Platform is built to address full API lifecycle, including the design, implementation, security and governance of APIs. In fact, Gartner recently named MuleSoft a Leader in the Magic Quadrant for Application Service Governance (eventually replace with Full Lifecycle API Management). In this webinar, Aaron Landgraf will walk through the full lifecycle capabilities of Anypoint Platform in the context of a case study of an organization that wanted to productize and reuse their APIs.

Almost everyone is undergoing digital transformation, but not everyone knows the right way to do it. In a recent MuleSoft survey, 96 percent of respondents are executing on digital transformation initiatives or planning to do so in the near future.
